Chapter 50: He Sees Her Eyes

After the fertility ritual was complete both of them had to perform one final ritual before they would exchange a few words and offer one another a gift to be cherished their whole lives. 

The next ritual was "Binding fate with a plant."

Healer Fownso stepped forward and presented 

Alpha Siroos with a sea-green seed, the size of a walnut. This ritual was meant to strengthen their bond and have a shared responsibility of building a life together.

It was the seed of a Sensifa tree. A rare species of plant which was grown by two people together. Mostly mates, newlyweds, husband and wife, lovers. 

It grew based on their emotions and love. It thrived in an atmosphere of positive emotions. 

Its petals and leaves were highly sensitive, subtly shifting their hues and textures in tune with the emotional ambience around them.
